    I love Sea Bass, I think he's a GREAT Wrestler, and will win ANOTHER National Championship In 2022. He had a plan before this match, went out and utilized that plan to the best of his abilities. But I WILL say one thing about Spencer Lee that season. He was OFF its entirety. He never truly had his head in it till the Nationals. When he beat Jack in the Finals of the Nationals...he was looking like the Champion he is and was. From what I was told, Jack just crushed Sea Bass in the Semis. Then.go to the Finals, and Lee once again HAMMERED his opponent...
